Ein Vertreter vom ganz alten Schlag klingelt bei einem Einfamilienhaus und eine schöne Frau
Spezialisten für alles Gleitende. Ich bin hier, um Ihnen unser neuestes Produkt vorzustellen – die “SuperSlick Universal Vaseline”. Es ist das modernste Gleitmittel auf dem Markt, perfekt für alle Anwendungen im Haushalt.“
Die Frau schaut etwas verlegen aus und antwortet: “Oh, äh, danke für Ihr Angebot. Aber ich glaube, wir haben genug Schmiermittel zu Hause.”
Der Vertreter, unbeirrt von der Reaktion, fährt fort: “Ah, aber gnädige Frau, unsere SuperSlick Vaseline ist nicht nur für Türen und Scharniere. Sie eignet sich auch hervorragend für Fenster, Schlösser, Fahrradketten, und – natürlich – für alltägliche Hautpflege.”
Die Frau kann ein Lachen nicht unterdrücken und sagt: “Das klingt wirklich vielseitig. Aber ich denke, wir werden erst einmal bei unseren bewährten Produkten bleiben.”
Der Vertreter zwinkert ihr zu und sagt: “Natürlich, natürlich. Aber bedenken Sie, gnädige Frau, unsere Vaseline kann selbst das Knarren von schlecht gelaunten Schwiegermüttern beseitigen!”
Die Frau bricht in schallendes Gelächter aus und sagt: “Das ist wirklich eine interessante Vorstellung. Aber ich denke, wir werden es lieber so belassen. Trotzdem vielen Dank für Ihren Besuch!”
Der Vertreter zieht seine Schlussfolgerung: “Na gut, gnädige Frau. Wenn sich Ihre Schwiegermutter nicht über mangelnde Schmierung beschwert, dann haben Sie wohl alles im Griff. Falls sich das ändert, hier ist meine Karte. Wir sind rund um die Uhr für Sie da!”
Mit einem breiten Lächeln verabschiedet er sich und macht sich auf den Weg zur nächsten Haustür, bereit, die Welt mit seiner speziellen Vaseline zu schmieren.

"Hold my beer" . . . Lance is pretty weird, but not as weird as @touka_chan78 😂😘 #happybirthdayshiro #takashishirogane #lancemcclain #voltron #voltroncosplay #shiro #lance #shirocosplay #lancecosplay #holdmybeer #superslick
Super fun discovering just how very little the world thinks of parents once you become one. I tried to change my toddler at the brand new superslick mall in the centre of town today. The baby change facilities were locked for "legal reasons", janitor who let me in said. Room was empty apart from a bin (and two changing stations and a sink, not the most practical to steal).
I had to sit on the stone floor to nurse.
There are many, many more issues (I live in the 2nd most expensive country for childcare, for example) but this was neat. Like just. So emblematic, thank you, brand new mall!
6. If you could rewrite one season, which one would it be? Why?
ohoooo another opportunity, this time let’s take on s14 since we both want to kick that season in its tiny undescended nads:
First: We’re ditching that terrible, terrible Peaky Blinders cosplay. Jensen, what were you thinking. Don’t let the talent dress themselves, yikes. It’s more interesting if he’s in either a superslick suit or in pseudomilitary gear. He’s a soldier, after all.
Second: We’re ditching the terrible, terrible teefy monsters, but we can keep supermonsters as a plot. The point is that we’re not going to drop it four seconds into creating it as a storyline because that’s dumb as fuck, why would you do that.
Michael has Dean and decides he’s going to go for a spin. He checks out the world and then goes, mmyeah, we’re going to definitely trash this world too, it’s balls and I’m going to trash daddy’s work because I get to, fuck him. He creates his even-worse monsters and lets them loose, and then abandons Dean with a propped door inside as before because why not, that wasn’t that bad--and so Dean’s hollowed-out and shocked and doesn’t know what he did, but it was awful, and then -- and this is key -- there are RAMIFICATIONS FROM THAT and Dean’s iffy and weird and PTSDy in a way which is a Dean-version of how Sam was for a while in s7. Not hallucinations but he’s not steady, leaving Sam off-kilter because if stone number one isn’t rock-solid, then what is?
Nick is a nagging, awful problem at the back of Sam’s head. He’s keeping him in the bunker but he hates that because there’s Lucifer’s face, looking at him all the time. When Nick bails Sam gets mad but he’s honestly relieved---he has Dean to handle, and the refugees to pretend to care about, and if Nick’s gone then at least he doesn’t have yet another problem on his plate. Still, he’s not an idiot and so he has people looking for Nick. Nick *was* the one who killed his family, because that’s more interesting, but let’s say he was tempted into doing it by a demonic agent, who he’s looking for not to punish but to find out more about Lucifer; Nick then becomes the deuteragonist of the season---an empty vessel desperately seeking his archangel, while Dean is empty and trying desperately to fill that empty with anything else.
Aiak is instantly deleted from the universe never to return.
Starting from those better building blocks, you can go a few different ways with the cruise to the ending. I like the Jack’s Soul Issues storyline fine (and I wouldn’t want to miss out on that whole The Accident thing, plus it’s great that he kills Mary). We can definitely smooth out some of the goofier parts (e.g. that awful hunter wake, oh my gawd, what), but it’s the *focus* on the three main things of the season that’s important: Dean and Michael, Lucifer and Nick, Sam and Not Actually Caring About People Who Aren’t Dean Even If He Really Really Tries.
7, already did this one, but I’m gonna answer a different question: If I could watch only one arc for the rest of my life what would it be, and it would be the Sam and Dean’s Epic Divorce Drama Ending In A Marriage stuff from Carver’s run. Not a season except it is in my heart and it is pure [sweat drops emoji]
15. What is the first episode that ever made you cry? (if any)
The one where Jo and Ellen die, because Ellen saying her name knowing there wasn’t going to be an answer was instant, instant waterworks. Sad moms? Can’t do it. :c I never cried over any of the Sam and Dean deaths (until that last one) because they were always coming back. Ellen’s baby died in her arms. I mean, fuck. I’m getting hot-eyed just thinking about it. </3
